As the 74th annual Cannes Film Festival recedes into the past, can we all agree that even after all these years, Tilda Swinton remains the most exciting red carpet icon? Consider that she chased that blue eye ribbon, with a frankenstein-pieced metallic look and an exquisitely tailored blue suit, then a red dog collar, and to close out the festival went with this cavalcade of androgynous billowing white pieces.
And because her face deserves exquisite fashion, too, she paired them with a different improbably shaped hairdo each time for good measure. She always keeps us guessing. The only thing you can safely predict about Tilda at each event is that she'll be memorable.
More final Cannes '21 looks after the jump...
Who was your best dressed at the closing ceremony?
Adele Exarchopolous?
Gemma Chan?
Sharon Stone?
Rosamund Pike?
My personal vote goes to Gemma Chan. She literally took my breath when I first saw her.
And who do you think slayed hardest at the AmFar Gala...
Maria Bakalova
Rachel Brosnahan?
Regina King?
Sharon Stone?
And because men always get such short shrift in fashion roundups a few more of them from the fest though we're not sure which dates or events these are from beyond Lee Byung-hun's closing ceremony look (right)
Josh O'Connor
Kingsley Ben-Adir
Lee Byung-hun
We would definitely share more male celebs at film festivals if it were easier to find full length pics of their outfits... but fashion blogs mostly ignore them and mainstream and movie sites generally only post their torsos or shoulders up photos.
Now a moment of grief that we've got nearly a two month fashion drought before the movie stars glam up again at the Venice Film Festival (Sept 1st-11th) followed by the Met Gala (September 13th)
